I like a load of them, but my main favourites would have to be Taffy's "I Love My Radio" (1987) and Pretty Poison's "Catch Me (I'm Falling" (also from 1987).

I Believe Cach Me Was From 1988

Blue Monday...the #1 selling 12" of all time

I'd go with Niko and Blue Monday.  Anything by Erasure was a pretty good dance floor filler in the club I went to as well.

You Spin Me (Like a Record) - Dead or Alive

I Believe Cach Me Was From 1988


No it wasn't. It was released in October/Novemeber 1987 and reached #8 on the Top 100 Billboard Chart.

Catch Me I'm Fallin',Theme From S'Express(by S'Express),Just Got Paid(Jonny Kemp)..too many to list  :D

Nights(Feel Like Getting Down) Billy Ocean-1981


Howard

You Spin Me (Like a Record) - Dead or Alive


I agree. But, I voted for Shannon's "Let the Music Play".

Tanya

Gwen Guthrie Ain't Nothin Goin On But The Rent

Pretty Poisen - from the Philadelphia Area - I almost forgot about them. ::)

Madonna- Get Into The Groove
Shannon- Let the music play
Animotion- Obsession
Prince- When Doves Cry

You're proably right. For some reason I keep thinking of Jan. 1987, for that song. I don't know why.
I do know it was used in the movie "Hiding Out".

Most people were getting tired of those John Hughes kinda movies (like that one) by then anyway.

I also voted for "Catch Me (I'm Falling)".

:)

Other - Pump Up the Volume by M.A.A.R.S.

I choose other. As I recall  everytime Duran Duran came on. All the girls would hit the dance floor.

Well I wouldn't call Duran Duran's songs dance hits, but you would do with singles such as "Notorius", "All She Wants Is" "I Don't Want Your Love" and "Burning The Ground".

Other - Diamond Girl - Nice & Wild

Blue Monday - New Order (1983).

Eighties club culture owes much to it.

Superman (Gioca Jouer) by Black Lace had them all dancing in the 80s

New Order's "Blue Monday" was originally released in 1983 but only available as a 12" single and still remains the biggest 12" ever. It did, however, get the remix treatment in 1988.

Stutter Rap (No Sleep 'Til Bedtime) was a big hit for Morris Minor & The Majors in 1987.
